The distance of the front axle and rear axle mounting points are the same but rate of compression would be different for rear due to mounting angle.
The part numbers come straight from Bilstein for 0-2” lift.
Also, is the bottom mount in the picture part of the U-Bolt mounting plate?
Good point about the shock angle. Didn’t think of it like that.
What’s the recommendation on the shackle?
Clearly new to the 40 game, I bought it recently and am trying to get it road worthy and I’m learning about 50 new things a day!
1F, 4 speed.
IIRC the front shock mounts are the same distance apart as the rear but the recommended shock is 062518 that’s 18.5” extended and 12” compressed. Feel the rears sustain damage when compressed and fronts sustain damage at max droop.
Installing the 185606 on the rear of my 40… Feels like the shock is compressed too much. Shock mounts are 17” apart and the 185606 is 22” long with a max compressed length of 14”. The bump stop is right at 3” from the bump plate. I feel like the shock will bottom out and sustain damage at...
